Instead of logging into a separate portal, copying phone numbers, and hitting send on a web dashboard, you just tell your AI what to do. This Connector connects your agent directly to the TNZ Group messaging gateway. It handles the heavy lifting of sending out text messages, making automated phone calls using text-to-speech, and even sending out digital faxes. You can have your agent check if a message actually landed or pull a report on how much you spent on a specific campaign last month. It's about making communication an extension of your conversation. Since Vinkius hosts this, you can plug it into your existing workflow and start moving data between your AI and your customers without any manual jumping between tabs. It turns a multi-step communication process into a single command. ## Tools ### get_account_balance Check how much credit you have left in your TNZ account.
